# Ellis Martin Report: RUA GOLD \(NZAUF\) Hits 82.9 g/t Gold and 24.8% Antimony at Auld Creek Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/ellis-martin-report-rua-gold-nzauf-hits-82-9-g-t-gold-and-24-8-antimony-at-auld--fc2f418a-9210-4126-9c3a-a108a56d4517 Original source: https://orestocks.com/company/RUA.V/press-releases/8733828825516988 Publisher: orestocks Original announcement: 2026-09-15T08:44:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: RUA GOLD Inc. - Ticker: RUA - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: New Zealand - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Antimony - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-15 09:03:25 UTC Narrative sentiment: 1.00 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary RUA GOLD reported its highest-grade drill results to date at the Auld Creek Project in New Zealand, featuring an exceptional intercept of 82.9 g/t gold and 24.8% antimony. The company is transitioning from infill to step-out drilling and anticipates an updated mineral resource estimate and pre-feasibility study in Q4 2026. Reasoning: The intercept of 82.9 g/t Au is exceptionally high-grade for an epithermal/orogenic system, and the presence of 24.8% Sb adds significant byproduct value, though Sb is a penalty element in some concentrates. - Positive factor: exceptional gold grade - Positive factor: high-grade antimony byproduct - Positive factor: highest-grade results to date - Negative factor: deleterious element \(antimony\) present Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 82.9 g/t gold is exceptionally high grade. Evidence · text > 82.9 grams per tonne gold **Deleterious Elements Present** Polarity: negative Definition: A source-stated penalty, refractory or recovery concern in the fact's scope. Element detection alone, including measured elements explicitly below penalty thresholds, does not trigger this tag. Respect negation and retain a separately stated concern even when another risk is explicitly absent. Why it applies: Antimony is mentioned as part of the intercept. Evidence · text > 24.8% antimony **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: The release does not disclose QA/QC protocols or lab certification. Evidence · text > The reported results include an exceptional intercept ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
